Analog is adding on top of this a system for secure end-to-end system identification and authentication of electronic hardware as well as a simulation and analysis of cyber operations.

"By collaborating with Siemens in the MindSphere ecosystem, Analog Devices is able to deliver high-performance sensor-to-cloud solutions that give MindSphere customers a competitive edge," said Dzianis Lukashevich, emerging business director at Analog Devices, in a statement.

The MindSphere products are expected to be available from Analog Devices and Siemens in early 2018.
